Application Registration
(aka “Application”, “Client”, “Security Principal”, “Service Principal”)
Quickstart: Register an application with the Microsoft identity platform and related documentation should serve as your primary source of information.
Notes
* Consider using a System-Assigned Managed Identity a User-Assigned Managed Identity rather than an Application Registration to minimize operational burden {e.g., maintenance of secrets, system downtime, etc.}
* You might use a multi-tenant Service Principal to support integration with third-party applications that prompt only for Client Id and Client Secret
Create with PowerShell
Navigate to the Cloud Shell, configure as required, and select Powershell.
Modify, copy / paste, and then run the following command:
New-AzADServicePrincipal -DisplayName {SERVICE_PRINCIPAL_NAME}
You can expect a result like:
DisplayName Id AppId
